Love or lust?

            What is bondage? In answer to that question does the 2013 mind see Isrealite slaves, or women in black lacy smalls and toy hancuffs? Something helpless or vulnerable is now a magnet for thousands of men. Sometimes white hunters in India would have bait tethered to attract a tiger. Then sit close by and shoot it when it arrived. Our hunting ancestors, on the other hand, were out there catching their dinners. It was a dangerous game and their adrenaline rush is still in our veins, but the chase in certain men has degenerated to a callous form of recreation.
            At the same time the instincts of chivalry and tenderness are strong in most little boys. Wouldn't it be a wise step to open the barn door for these instincts of a later civil society to come out in force and take possession of  the field before it can be usurped by their violent cousins?
